I don't understand one thing, if the publishers are going through the trouble of localising JRPGs in the west on the PS3, why don't they do it multiplatform?

Its not like 360 can't handle these games, it should be easy to port over. Yes the games don't sell as much on 360 as PS3, but I can see a lot of these games sell atleast 1/3 the amount on 360.

the same could be said earlier this generation when all the jrpg's were exclusive to 360

 

i think the 360 is the main reason why everybody thinks jrpgs are/were dying

Yea but the PS3 got most of the good JRPGs that came to 360 albiet a bit later, like Tales of Vesperia and Star Ocean, the one exceptional exclusive 360 JRPG being Lost Odyssey.

I don't think its a good idea to make JRPGs exclusive to any platform, if they went multiplat they would have much more recognition and sales.
